MOM

Today's Daniel Autieul film was Andre Techine's

Ma Saison Preferee / My Favorite Season (1993)

Catherine Deneuve is his sister. Their mom is a pain in the ass. They are estranged.

The mom gets a little dizzy and the brother and sister, in middle age, must find a way to come together to take care of their only living parent.

False stops and starts in the relationship are explored in a natural way. Deneuve is matronly! Autieul is a living brain, a brain doctor, as a matter of fact.

The proceedings are very french with an adopted son and a daughter who both have a thing for a young woman who works in the sister's office.

And so on.

It is a lot better to see than to write about. It is a movie. A film. Quite original in its material and way of dealing with it.

I liked it well enough and will give it a 3 out of Netflix5.

A short clip.
